o most Christians, the book of Leviticus is strange and difficult to understand. Indeed, trying to comprehend every detail of this great book is an endless endeavor. But you don’t need to be a biblical scholar to find the value of Leviticus. One of the key points to remember is that like all Old Testament books, Leviticus confesses and foreshadows Jesus (Luke 24:44). Read it with Christ in mind, and you’ll be surprised at what you can learn. Leviticus isn’t a dusty, bygone piece of ancient literature reserved for the past, but is the living, active Word of God still testifying to God’s redemption in Christ crucified and the holy gifts He gives to sinners.
